Offense Lenoir-Rhyneisfirmlyentrenchedwithitsflexboneoffensenowandtheresultshave been impressive although subtle changes are expected every year. After a slow start in 2011, the Bears kicked it into gear by the end of the season including a stretch of 50-plus points in threestraightgames.L-Raveragedcloseto 400 yards per game (397.0 ypg) and produced its highest-scoring offense (33.6 ppg) in 17 seasons. Oneof thereasonsforLenoir-Rhyne’soffensive explosion late in 2011 was the play of the halfbacks, particularly junior Corron Boston(Durham,N.C.). Bostoncameonstrongandfinishedthe year third on the team in rushing yards (564) while averaging 7.3 yards per carry last fall. Boston also scored seven touchdowns and earned All-SAC Preseason Second-Team honors this summer. Starting opposite of Boston should be junior Graham Duncan (Gainesville, Ga.), a versatile player who made the most of his touches last year. Duncan’s role grew last season and he should be more than able to handle an increased workload in 2012. Duncan was especially effective as a receiver, catching four passes for 123 yards (30.8 yards per catch) and two scores.

Sophomores Greg Baker (Woodbine, Ga.) and Jarrod Spears(Bunnlevel,N.C.)should also be in the halfback rotation. Baker gives the Bears experience while Spears could be a game-breaker with his speed. L-Rappearsstrongatfullbackwiththereturn of sophomores Isaiah Whitaker (Salisbury,N.C.)andChris Robinson (Newnan,Ga.)andtheadditionof sopho-more newcomer Austin Beaty (Friends-ville, Texas).

Despite the loss of two-time All-Amer-ican and Jacobs Blocking Trophy winner ChandlerRearden,Lenoir-Rhynelooksgood once again up front with the return of four starters. At right tackle, redshirt freshman Joe Ray (Atlanta, Ga.) broke out of spring practice as the leading candidate while junior Marcus Byrd(Hickory,N.C.)willpush for playing time.

The Bears appear to have a battle at right guard with junior Parker Murray (NinetySix,S.C.)andseniorKaleb Myrick (Loganville,Ga.)enteringpreseasonvyingfor the starting duties. Murray is a versatile player who has stepped up for the Bears when needed as both a starter and a reserve while Myrick hopes to return to his form from two years ago when he earned all-conference honors. Myrick wasn’t close to 100 percent as inju-ries plagued him last fall. Murray is also expected to back up junior Zach Howell(Burnsville,N.C.)atcenter.Howellentershissecondyearasthe starting center and has played exten-sively since his freshman season. Sophomore Ethan Ricci(HollySprings,N.C.)andjuniorZack Bunn(Lucama,N.C.)arepenciledinasthestartersatleftguard and left tackle, respectively.

StuttshasbeenL-R’sNo.1receiverthepast four year but Gilmore (16 catches for 167 yards last seaons) has play-making ability and looks to end his career on a high note.

Defense Lenoir-Rhynehasdeveloped,byfar,thebest defense in the South Atlantic Confer-ence. TheBears’defenseisfilledwithspeed,size, athleticism and experience and is anchored by three preseason All-Amer-icans in 2012: senior defensive lineman Brandon Martin(Roebuck,S.C.),seniorlinebacker Demetrius Green (Cedartown, Ga.) and junior defensive back Michael Green (Kingsland, Ga.).

Lenoir-Rhyne junior Michael Green earned All-American honors last year as a return man after returning two punts for touch-downs in 2011.

Special Teams The Bears had one of the best special teams units in the conference last year and will need to replace only their placekicker entering the 2012 campaign.
